Our Board of Health is extremely gv" I anxious to have the residents of our town join in and co-operate with us in keeping the town clean and as free from sickness and suffering as possible. The health of any town orcomImonity, to a great extent, depends II not npon the Board of Health so mnch as upon the individual care in Qleanliness, and aid ic suppressing diseases when brought in, which is | made so much easier whtn each individual or residest lends bis or her belp in each a matter Watm weather j is npon us and this and filth of what, ever nature whether of animal or vegetable orgin are conditions favorable enough for all germ growth and multiplication. Our town has been remarkably free from, the ravages of typhoid fever, and during the past ten years scarcely a case has occurred unimpo-ted, awd it would seem that it shouiJ be tfce duty of every in-j habitant, of this place to lend every aid in keeping down this and all i other microbie disease, and we feel confident that a reminder of this matter will be all ibat1s necessary, ? and every one will join in, in making and keeping this one of the cleanest and healrhesfc towns in this part of tbe State. Naturally, Lexington is almost ideally located for the best natural drainage, therefore, only inv | dividual care in ke^piog it > clean is what ia needed and our ?*nitary ecuditions will be as good as ?be best. pov g The old Confederate soldiers will % have a grand time in Columbia commencing today and lasting until Fri day night. A splendid program Has been arranged for their comfort and entertainment, and Columbia never eppj falls short of duty. Her citizens are delighted toenteriaintbeold veterans and make them feel proud. We trust that in return the o2d soldiers will appreciate their kiucness in a proper manoer. Remember tbat as year pass the ranks are thinned and many may not have tbe joyous previlege to "meet again." fiJ-vT. The State Democratic convention meets in Columbia today, and we look for lively times. Memorial Day at Batesburg. Baiesburg, May 11-?Memorial day j^was celebrated by tbe Confederate | veterans, tbe school children and the |T public generally by appropriate exerc:*<-8 yesterday afternoon. Tbe services were under tbe auspices of camp j. 939, U. C V., and were held in the opera bouse and at tbe publ.c cemetery. i The proceedings were presided ovei by Capt. U- X Gunter, assisted by Adjutant T. D. Villard. The exercises consisted of songe, patriotic 'recitations and two address??, after which all the graves of Confederate veterens in the cemetery were tastily and beautifully decorated with dowers f by the girls of the graded school. They had a very apprcprate and well arranged program. And the were rendered with credit to those participating and pleat-iDgto those in attendance. Tfce addresses of Col 's Geo. Bell Timiaerman and E. F. Strother were appiopiiate and feelingly rendered and well received.

Saturday was a beautiful clay and Irene was the place appointed for the annual picnic following the Sunday school exercises of Children's Day at that place. There was a large attendance and all certainly enjoyed the occasion and they feel under obligations to Mr. T. H. Williams, superintendent, and others for - * > ? Li/ I J ( (PCD a ceugauui uay epeuw.

The closing exercises of the school at Irene took place last Friday evening in the school building at that place, and those in attendance were well entertained with drills and motion songs, dialogues and recitations, all rendered with credit to themselves and their instructors. Uuder the skill and able instruction of Miss Ellen Hendrix, ooe of the best teach| ers of our county, who has- been in j charge of this school for several terms, nothing but success could follow, and she is today as popular and perhaps more so, than when she first opened the school at that place. To show tho esteem held for her, at the close of the exercises she was presented with a set of combs in solid gold. The presentation was -i- i? ir rn__ 1 *u~ zonae oy ixiiSB iimry xttyiui, iuo noeintaot teacher, in well chosen words, expressing the love that the pupils held for their principal. The gift was from Miss Taylor and the pupils. The features were an address by Mrs. C. E Weitner, c.f Columbia, with short lectures by Rev. J. W. Nease, Col. J. Brooks Wmgard ard J. E. Bawl Kyzer. . The exercises were closed with an address by Hon. W. H. Sharpe on "The Power and Benefit of the Sunday schools." Messrs. W. P. Roof, president of the Saxe Gofcba mills; Allen Jones, secretary and treasurer, and Homer Woods, the superintendent, feel a just pride in the religious and edu cationai interest or tneir little mm "N village and the people there hold them in high favor for their efforts in their behalf. Mt. Hebron Dots. To the Editor of the Dispatch: Mr. Editor will you kindly give place to a few liues from the Mt. Hebron section. As we look out upon the early dawn of this beautiful Monday morning we are anxious to get to the fields where the land needs stiring and General Green needs attention. Cotton chopping is the order cf the day with those that have cotton planted. The past few days of sunshine have been very good for farm work, although V z very cool nights and frosts of last week retarded the growth of the young plants very much. Grain is ripening and promises good, especially early sown oats., Mt. Hebron Sunday school wiil celebrate Children's Day Sunday, May 20tb, at 4 o clock. All are invited. Mr. Editor, I am sorry to learn that the whiskey question is to fce the main issue in tbe campaign, but ! of course the people will want to j know bow the cancbcUtes of tbe bouse stand and if it applies to those , why not let it apply to all, especially to supervisor" If this is to be tbe question let both sides be represented by good men for every cfHce.

I did not want to make the j race for supervisor at this time, but uDder the circumstances am some what like Felix zf old, almost per ? - * . t i_ Buaded. I will w in lurtner developments having made the statement to several people in answer to the question that I would not run at this time. With best wishes to .vou and your co-workers, I am Uacle John. Delmar Locals. To the Editor of the Dispatch: Farm work is progressing nicely. The cotton crop is about all planted with three-fourths of it up to fair 6tands. The cold weather last week damaged the cotton somewhat, but don't think any will have to be plant ed over. Lowlands are befog planted to com, while corn that was planted early is growing very well and has been plowed. The prospects are for an average grain crop. We notice though that oats are badly damaged by the smut. Oar farmers will have to use eome precautions against the smut in oats as it becomes more general every year. It is claimed that thefarmalin treatment is the best remedy against smut in grain that has been devised up to this time.
